Quartz crystal microbalance/heat conduction

THE QUARTZ CRYSTAL MICROBALANCE/HEAT CONDUCTION CALORIMETER... 

Upon returning to Drexel in the summer of 1997, the author worked with graduate student Hamid Shirazi to develop a quartz crystal microbalance/heat conduction calorimeter based on this mass/heat-flow sensor. The development, testing, and initial uses of the QCM/HCC are documented in Shirazi s PhD thesis, available online [51]. Shira performed die following experiments with this new technology ...
